Not Cool for School: Forgetting the Obvious

My son left his science notebook in his locker.  Since he needed it for homework, I frantically searched the school's website to see if we had time to run back before the building closed. 

20 minutes after scanning webpages and a PDF of the school's handbook, I still could not find the Hours of Operation. 

I did find info on:

"excusing a student from reciting a portion of the Declaration of Independence,"

and

"requesting classroom assignments for multiple birth siblings." 

Maddening, and funny.

I'm curious...   What obvious things should be included in documentation that Tech Writers frequently miss?   Do you have any stories to share?
